Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering Ulfborg, 2012. Pours black with a creamy bubbly head. This was an overwhelming experience. Wood, chocolate, salty liquorice, roasted coffee, mocha and vanilla. Smooth, slick and oily. Tasty as hell. Waaauw!!!

Bottle @ Summer Gathering, Ulfborg. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich roast malt, coffee, wood, coconuts, fruits and notes of caramel. Very very rich and very dry.

Bottle, 75cl, at TFODRBSG 2012. A black one, topped by a finger-thick dark tan head. Some lacings. Oily pour. Lots of dark chocolate and wonderful coffee on the nose. Roasted malts, alcohol, a touch of prunes and raisins, as well as a pleasant but intense boozyness. A bit heavy on the booze, it’s really warming on the palate, full-bodied, oily and smooth. Quite hop bitter, both initially and in the end. The flavor has loads of dark chocolate, mocha, some boozyness resembling chili, and a touch of dried fruits. Really, really lasting finish with dark chocolate, roasted notes and some coffee. And bitterness. Superb and wonderful. 120818

Bottle at CCB Day, Sätila 2012-07-07. Black beer with a brown head. Dark cocolate, vanilla, figs, whiskey, mint aroma and flavour. Lovley beer :-)

Bottle shared at the RBSG 2012 Grand Tasting. Black as night with a brown head. Aroma is rather mild with boozy notes, a stark letdown compared with the brandy version just a little bit earlier. Flavor is better, with massive roasty notes and plenty of dark chocolate. The whiskey seems to thin it out and kill the flavor somehow.

(750ml bottle) Pours an opaque black body with a spare brown head. Aroma of wood, chocolate, vanilla, whiskey, and roasted malt. Flavor of chocolate, wood, whiskey, raisins, coffee, and vanilla with a boozy finish.
